EMERGENCY COLLECTION FOR GAZA
Archbishop Weisenburger joins with his brother bishops across the United States in asking the faithful to be most generous in a critical collection for the people of Gaza sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
We mourn the terrible sufferings of Christians and other innocent victims of violence in Gaza who are struggling to survive, to protect their children, and to live humanely in tragic circumstances. Pope Leo continues to call for a cease fire and for aid to enter the territory, noting with great sorrow that “Gaza is starving.”
All funds from this special collection will be remitted to one of two charities:
· Catholic Relief Services who are on site and partnering with local Church entities to provide food, shelter, financial assistance, hygiene supplies, and trauma assistance; or
· Catholic Near East Welfare Association who are providing vital emergency humanitarian relief and medical care for the sick, malnourished, and wounded.
Your generosity is an opportunity to serve Christ Himself!
Make checks payable to Our Mother of Perpetual Help and write Gaza in the memo line.
